Atheists Meet This Weekend

05.11.09, KWTX (US). About 600 atheists and agnostics are expected to gather this weekend in Seattle for the annual convention of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Scheduled speakers include Ron Reagan, an avowed atheist and son of the former president. The convention will include a "Nonprayer Breakfast" on Saturday. Co-president Laurie Gaylor told The Seattle Times that instead of bowing their heads in a moment of silence, participants would shout and tap on glasses to make as much noise as possible. The Freedom From Religion Foundation claims about 14,000 members nationwide, including 900 in Washington State.
